It’s 11 (peace), especially when snowflakes swirl slowly. Joy loves catching snow crystals and tracing deer prints. When Joy runs ahead, I hear her gloves brushing softly against the snow. I sometimes shout her back, worried that she might get someone 12 (knock) over. The truth, though, is 13 could be guessed—there’s never anyone else here. Just me, Joy, and the beautiful white hill. 【答案】11．peaceful 12．knocked 13．what 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章描述了作者大多数周末做完家务后，会和邻居乔伊一起去山坡看新雪的情景，展现了静谧美好的冬日氛围。 11．考查形容词。句意：这里很宁静，尤其是当雪花缓缓飘落的时候。根据空前的It's可知，此处应用形容词作表语，peace的形容词形式为peaceful，意为“宁静的”。故填peaceful。 12．考查非谓语动词。句意：我有时会喊她回来，担心她可能会撞到别人。get sb. done为固定结构，意为“使某人被……”，knock与someone之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词knocked。故填knocked。 13．考查表语从句。句意：不过，事实是可以猜到的——这里从来没有其他人。“________ could be guessed”为表语从句，从句中缺少主语，表示“……的事情”，所以用what引导。故填what。 B 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 When was the last time a joke saved your day 14 (good) than any advice?

Remember: problems shrink (变小) fast when laughter 16 (share). 【答案】14．better 15．turned 16．is shared 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了笑话有时比建议更能拯救心情，能帮人摆脱坏情绪、治愈烦恼。问题会在笑声分享时快速变小，幽默是治愈人心的免费礼物。 14．考查比较级。句意：上一次有什么事情是因一个笑话而让你的心情得到更好的改善，甚至比得到任何建议都来得更有效果吗？根据后文than可知为比较级。故填better。 15．考查时态。句意：或许就在今天早上，朋友那诙谐的话语让你原本糟糕的心情变得愉悦起来。根据上文this morning可知发生在过去用一般过去时。故填turned。 16．考查时态语态。句意：记住：当大家一起欢笑时，问题会迅速消失。主语laughter与谓语构成被动关系，且陈述事实用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是不可数名词，谓语用单数。故填is shared。 C 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 When 17 (pick) a career, we follow passion, not fear. Yet recent data show AI 18 (take) over roughly 8% of junior posts in areas like graphics, writing and coding—about 1.3 million openings gone over the past year. To stay wanted, we can act early: learn to steer AI tools instead of competing with them, and train for roles 19 need on-site care, quick judgment or fresh ideas. These steps help us plan 20 care. After all, our future should not be lost to machines. 【答案】17．picking 18．has taken 19．that/ which 20．with 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了在人工智能逐渐占据部分初级岗位的背景下，人们应如何选择职业。 17．考查非谓语动词。句意：在选择职业时，我们要追随热情，而非恐惧。句中已有谓语动词follow，此处应用非谓语动词，逻辑主语we与pick之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词picking作状语。故填picking。 18．考查动词时态。句意：然而，最近的数据显示，人工智能已经占据了图形、写作和编程等领域约8%的初级岗位，在过去一年里，大约有130万个职位消失了。根据“over the past year”可知，此处应用现在完成时，其结构为“have / has +过去分词”，主语AI是不可数名词，所以用has taken。故填has taken。 19．考查定语从句。句意：为了不被淘汰，我们可以尽早行动：学会操控人工智能工具，而非与之竞争，并为那些需要现场处理、快速判断或创新思维的岗位进行培训。此处为定语从句，先行词是roles，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词that或which引导。故填that / which。 20．考查介词。句意：这些步骤有助于我们谨慎地规划。with care为固定短语，意为“谨慎地”，所以用介词with。故填with。 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，38分） 第一节（共14小题，每小题2分，共28分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A AI robots are changing how we live and work.

You can be going along, minding your business, and then, all of a sudden, a memory pops into your head. Sometimes memories are triggered (触发) by a song that reminds you of the setting where you first heard it. Or it may be a smell that makes you think of a delicious meal with your friends or family. Perhaps hearing kids arguing makes you remember an unhappy situation with childhood friends. These spontaneous (自发的) memories can be “sweet,” or they might be “sour.” Did you ever wonder what’s going on in your brain that makes your memories produce positive or negative emotions? Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biologica Studies in California have made a discovery that could help to uncover this secret. The explanation is a bit technical (for those of us who are not brain scientists), but basically it all focuses on a single molecule (分子) called neurotensin (神经降压素). Our surrounding environment is constantly presenting our brain with stimuli (刺激). The molecule neurotensin acts as a key indicator of whether an experience is labeled as positive or negative, depending on the nature of the stimuli. Our brain subsequently associates similar stimuli with the pleasant or painful memory that we experienced. The study by the Salk Institute was published in the journal Nature. The focus of their experiments was the brain circuitry of laboratory mice. After a sound was played, the mice received either a pleasant swallow of sugary water or, an unpleasant electrical shock or puff of air. The researchers discovered that neurotensin was the signal that associated the sound with reward or with punishment When the gene (基因) that regulates neurotensin was removed from the mice’s brains, they had more difficulty connecting the sound with the sugary water. However, the negative responses were enhanced. Understanding how neurons in the brain respond to neurotensin could have influences on one’s mental health. Addictions may be caused by overly high levels of neurotensin (connected with positive rewards). On the other hand, depression and anxiety can result when decreased levels of neurotensin allow negative responses to dominate. Thus, regulating neurotensin could help to maintain mental stability. One other thing: The research study showed that the brain may tend to be a pessimist, focusing on fearful memories that cause negative emotional responses. Perhaps insights into neurotensin will help us have fewer sour memories and more sweet ones. 28．What is the function of neurotensin? A．To provide our brain with stimuli. B．To indicate the category of an experience. C．To focus on the surrounding environment. D．To associate the stimuli with our memory. 29．What can we learn from the passage? A．Addictions and anxiety may be related to different levels of neurotensin. B．The mice were given both sugary water and an electrical shock after hearing a sound. C．As the gene which controls neurotensin disappeared, the negative responses decreased. D．The brain prefers connecting with fearful memories which produce unexpected emotions. 30．What is the passage mainly about? A．What happens in our brain to form our memory. B．What the discovery of memory can do for mental health. C．How brain connects our memory with different emotions. D．How we regulate neurotensin to make us have good emotions. 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是大脑是如何通过神经降压素使我们产生积极或消极情绪的回忆。 28．细节理解题。根据第二段“The molecule neurotensin acts as a key indicator of whether an experience is labeled as positive or negative, depending on the nature of the stimuli.(神经降压素作为一个关键的指标，表明一个经验是被标记为积极的还是消极的，这取决于刺激的性质)”可知，神经降压素可以表明一个经验是积极的还是消极的。故选B。 29．推理判断题。根据第四段“Addictions may be caused by overly high levels of neurotensin (connected with positive rewards). On the other hand, depression and anxiety can result when decreased levels of neurotensin allow negative responses to dominate.(成瘾可能是由过量的神经降压素（与积极的奖励相关）引起的。另一方面，当神经降压素水平的下降导致负面反应占主导地位时，就会导致抑郁和焦虑)”可知，成瘾和焦虑情绪的产生都与神经降压素水平的高低有关。故选A。 30．主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段“Did you ever wonder what’s going on in your brain that makes your memories produce positive or negative emotions?(你有没有想过，在你的大脑里发生了什么，让你的记忆产生积极或消极的情绪？)”可知，本文主要讲述大脑是如何通过神经降压素使我们产生积极或消极情绪的回忆。故选C。 D When climate activists glued themselves to the frame of a copy of The Last Supper at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, they received a fairly sympathetic hearing. “No painting is worth more than my six-month-old nephew’s life,” said a protestor, criticizing the British government’s support of the fossil fuel industry during the urgent climate crisis. But when protestors threw tomato soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and mashed potatoes at Haystacks by Monet — the censure rose. “Absolutely absurd,” said the culture minister of France. “We have been deeply shaken by their risky endangerment,” read a statement from the International Council of Museums. The protestors are targeting works that are protected behind glass — at least for now — so actual damage has been minimal. And perhaps the anger greeting their acts proves their point, that people care more about the threatened destruction of a painting than the actual destruction of the planet. But as the attacks wear on, and their impact decreases, they risk changing into a joke. What’s especially misguided about the protests is their binary nature. “What is worth more, art or life?” a protestor asked. Why choose? “It’s possible to blame both environmental vandalism (蓄意破坏) and cultural vandalism at the same time,” Mark Pasnik, chair of the Boston Art Commission said. Art is not the problem here. In fact, contemporary artists are making quite effective works about the climate crisis, precisely using art as activism. Maya Lin’s Ghost Forest, a climate change memorial she created in a New York City park, is only one example. “I believe that art can help us imagine and map sustainable future scenarios (设想) and, in doing so, give people a way to see and hope for a different future,” Lin said. The climate activists are surely correct that the pace of reform is far too slow, as the planet burns and deadly storms intensify. But they casually dismiss the sincere efforts of millions of people working on the issue. It would be easier to respect the young protesters at Just Stop Oil, Last Generation, and the rest of the splash groups if they were to spend their time and energy on the unexciting but essential political work around climate change: legislation, regulation, and winning hearts and minds. Perhaps predictably, the debates caused by the protests have not been about climate change, but about the protests themselves. Given how little they’ve done to generate serious discussion or engage people to the cause, the art attacks seem less like vital acts of lawbreaking than mere theatre. 31．What does the underlined word “censure” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Stress. B．Criticism. C．Approval. D．Spirits. 32．Which idea can help explain climate activists’ action? A．The end justifies the means. B．Art speaks where words fail. C．The freedom of protest should be protected. D．Art matters in the fight against climate crisis. 33．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Art attacks are mainly about seeking attention. B．Climate activists should diversify their strategies. C．The solution to climate crisis lies in communication. D．Galleries should strengthen regulations like theaters. 34．The author writes the passage to ________. A．launch a campaign B．assess a debate C．propose a solution D．challenge a practice 【答案】31．B 32．A 33．A 34．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了气候活动家通过攻击艺术品来抗议气候变化的行为，以及这种行为的效果和影响。 31．词句猜测题。根据第一段“But when protesters threw tomato soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, and mashed potatoes at Haystacks by Monet — the censure rose(但当抗议者向梵高的《向日葵》扔番茄汤，向莫奈的《干草堆》扔土豆泥时，censure高涨)”可知，当抗议者向名画投掷食物时，引起了人们的强烈反应，导致了批评。由此猜测，censure意为“批评”，与criticism意思相近。故选B项。 32．推理判断题。根据第三段“And perhaps the anger greeting their acts proves their point, that people care more about the threatened destruction of a painting than the actual destruction of the planet. (也许人们对他们的行为感到愤怒，这证明了他们的观点：人们更关心画作受到威胁的破坏，而不是地球实际上的破坏)”可知，气候活动家的激进行为是为了证明他们的观点（即人们更关心艺术品的潜在破坏，而不是地球的实际破坏），这让普通群众对此感到愤怒，可得出气候活动家的行动表明“为了正当目的可以不择手段”，故选A项。 33．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Given how little they’ve done to generate serious discussion or engage people to the cause, the art attacks seem less like vital acts of lawbreaking than mere theatre.(考虑到他们在引发严肃讨论或吸引人们关注这一事业方面所做的努力微乎其微，艺术攻击似乎更像是戏剧表演，而不是至关重要的违法行为)”可知，作者认为气候活动家的艺术攻击行为更像是为了吸引注意力，而不是为了真正解决气候危机，故选A项。 34．推理判断题。根据第一段“When climate activists glued themselves to the frame of a copy of The Last Supper at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, they received a fairly sympathetic hearing. “No painting is worth more than my six-month-old nephew’s life,” said a protester, criticizing the British government’s support of the fossil fuel industry during the urgent climate crisis.(当气候活动人士将自己粘在伦敦皇家艺术学院一幅《最后的晚餐》复制品的框架上时，他们得到了相当同情的回应。“没有任何画作比我六个月大的侄子的生命更重要，”一名抗议者在批评英国政府在紧迫的气候危机中支持化石燃料产业时说)”、第二段“We have been deeply shaken by their risky endangerment(我们被他们的危险行为深深震惊了)”、第五段“In fact, contemporary artists are making quite effective works about the climate crisis, precisely using art as activism.(其实当代艺术家们正在用艺术作为行动主义的方式，创作出关于气候危机的相当有效的作品)”以及最后一段“Given how little they’ve done to generate serious discussion or engage people to the cause, the art attacks seem less like vital acts of lawbreaking than mere theatre.(考虑到他们在引发严肃讨论或吸引人们关注这一事业方面所做的努力微乎其微，艺术攻击似乎更像是戏剧表演，而不是至关重要的违法行为)”可知，本文讨论了气候活动家通过攻击艺术品来抗议气候变化的行为，以及这种行为的效果和影响，并对这种行为提出了质疑，认为他们应该采取更有效的方式来应对气候危机。因此，作者写这篇文章的目的是质疑和挑战这种实践，故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有项为多余选项。 The only words you need to say after receiving a compliment (赞美) are “thank you”. But you know that's easier said than done. There are many reasons why you have a hard time accepting compliments. 35 It's a three step process. First, believe what people tell you. If you're still having a hard time taking the compliment, double check. And if it's still hard to accept then you'll have to check yourself. 36 For example, if you're six feet tall and I say, “Wow, you're tall! ” I'm being honest. I'm five foot nine, so plenty of people are tall compared to me. I'm expressing that subjectively, from my shorter vantage point, you are tall. I'm not saying everyone would agree with me. Just like if I say City of God is a great movie, I'm not saying you have to think it's a great movie. You have to listen carefully to compliments. It's not always obvious if you're being complimented for something only others can observe. If you are five foot six inches tall, and weigh seventy pounds, I would say you are slim. But if you are comparing yourself to someone who is shorter, and weighs five pounds less than you, you might call yourself plump. In this extreme example, the outside perspective is more accurate than the internal one.   37 If you're still struggling to accept a compliment, you don't just have to take someone at their word. It can be hard to accept an opinion when it's the opposite of yours, so call in reinforcements. Ask someone else what they think. 38 You can ask two or three or four more people if two isn't enough. 39 If you mislead or lie to people about your opinions, then it's not surprising that you have a hard time trusting that people's compliments are genuine. Be more honest with people around you, and you'll find it much easier to believe what people say about you. A．They will be the tie breaker. B．You can check with someone else instead. C．The causes are complicated but the path to accepting compliments is simpler. D．How honest are you with your friends and family when they ask for your opinion? E．When someone is trying to pay you a compliment, they are speaking subjectively. F．When someone pays you a compliment, they are speaking about something that is observable. G．Similarly, when I call you smart or funny, I'm commenting based on my definition of smart or funny, that's how I see you. 【答案】35．C 36．E 37．F 38．A 39．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文，短文介绍了很难接受赞美的原因有很多。原因很复杂，但接受赞美的途径更简单。短文介绍了三个接受赞美途径的方法。 35．根据上文“There are many reasons why you have a hard time accepting compliments.”（你很难接受赞美的原因有很多）以及下文“It's a three step process.”（这需要三个步骤）可知，选项承上启下。reasons呼应causes。the path呼应three step process。故C选项“原因很复杂，但接受赞美的途径更简单”切题。故选C项。 36．根据下文“I'm expressing that subjectively, from my shorter vantage point, you are tall. I'm not saying everyone would agree with me. ”（我主观地表示，从我较矮的角度来看，你很高。我并不是说每个人都会同意我的观点）可知，对你的赞扬是出于主观的看法。故E选项“当有人试图赞美你时，他们是在主观地说”切题，为本段的主旨句。故选E项。 37．根据上文“In this extreme example, the outside perspective is more accurate than the internal one. ”（在这个极端的例子中，外部视角比内部视角更准确）可知，选项承接上文说明赞美来自外部视角。故F选项“当有人称赞你时，他们说的是可以观察到的事情”切题。故选F项。 38．根据上文“Ask someone else what they think.”（问问别人的想法）以及下文“You can ask two or three or four more people if two isn't enough. ”（如果两个不够的话，你可以再问两个、三个或四个人）可知，选项承接上下文说明别人会帮助你做出正确的判断。故A选项“他们将是是否相信的关键”切题。故选A项。 39．根据下文“If you mislead or lie to people about your opinions, then it's not surprising that you have a hard time trusting that people's compliments are genuine. Be more honest with people around you, and you'll find it much easier to believe what people say about you.”（如果你在自己的观点上误导或欺骗别人，那么你很难相信别人的赞美是真诚的也就不足为奇了。对周围的人更诚实，你会发现更容易相信别人对你的评价。）可知，本段与诚实话题有关。故D选项“当你的朋友和家人征求你的意见时，你对他们有多诚实？”切题。故选D项。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，共32分） 第一节 阅读表达（共4小题，第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 For millions of Facebook users, choosing which photo to use for an online profile is an important decision. According to a study by researchers at the UT Dallas Center, the photos we select may reflect individual preferences, but they also appear to reflect more deeply rooted, unconscious cultural differences. Previous research has shown that culture can affect not only language and custom, but also how we experience the world and process information. Western cultures, for example, condition people to think of themselves as highly independent entities （实体）, whereas East Asian cultures stress collectivism and interdependence. Dr. Denise Park, co-director of the Center at UT Dallas, and former graduate student Dr. Chih-Mao Huang of the University of Illinois, were curious about whether these patterns of cultural influence extend to cyberspace. In a paper published in the International Journal of Psychology, they examined the profile photographs of more than 500 active Facebook users from the United States and East Asia. Overall, they found that profile photos of Americans are more likely to focus on the individual's face, while the profiles of East Asians tend to less emphasize the face and include more background features. Americans also show greater smile intensity compared to East Asian Facebook users. The findings show marked cultural differences in the focus of attention among East Asian and American Facebook users. Moreover, they echo previous research on cultural influences on visual perception（感知）, attention, and reasoning in the offline world. "We believe these findings relate to a cultural bias to be more individualistic and independent in the US and more communal and interdependent in Asia," said Park. The research also found that cultural influences over our self-presentation online can shift over time and from place to place. In one of the study samples, Americans studying in Japan and Japanese studying in the United States both showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country. "Facebook constitutes an extended social context in which personal profiles mirror various individual characteristics, private thoughts, and social behaviors," noted Huang. "As such, the study presents a new approach to investigate cognition and behaviors across cultures by using Facebook as a data collection platform." 40．What may an online profile photo reflect? 41．According to the research, how are American and East Asian Facebook users different in choosing their profile photos? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. In one of the study samples, Americans studying in Japan showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country because they want to maintain a good relationship with their Japanese friends. 43．Describe the profile photo you use for your social media such as WeChat or Weibo. Why do you choose it? 【答案】40．It may reflect individual preferences and more deeply rooted, unconscious cultural differences. 41．Facebook users in America are more likely to use profile photos that focus on their faces, while the photos of East Asians tend to less emphasize the face and include more background features. Americans also show greater smile intensity compared to East Asian Facebook users. 42．In one of the study samples, Americans studying in Japan showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country because they want to maintain a good relationship with their Japanese friends. Americans studying in Japan showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country because the culture of their host country has an influence on their self-presentation online. 43．possible version 1: I use a picture of a coffee mug as my profile photo. I use it because it is my favorite coffee mug and I want everyone to admire it. Besides, I am careful about privacy and don’t want to display my face to strangers online. possible version 2: I use a picture of myself as my profile photo, and in the picture I am smiling confidently. I used it because I want people to feel that I am a confident person and I am trustworthy. 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了我们在社交媒体选择的照片作为自己的头像可能反映了个人偏好，但它们似乎也反映了更根深蒂固的、无意识的文化差异。 40．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“According to a study by researchers at the UT Dallas Center, the photos we select may reflect individual preferences, but they also appear to reflect more deeply rooted, unconscious cultural differences.(根据德克萨斯大学达拉斯中心研究人员的一项研究，我们选择的照片可能反映了个人偏好，但它们似乎也反映了更根深蒂固的、无意识的文化差异。)”可知，一张网上的个人资料照片会反映出个人偏好和更加根深蒂固，无意识的文化差异。故答案为It may reflect individual preferences and more deeply rooted, unconscious cultural differences. 41．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Overall, they found that profile photos of Americans are more likely to focus on the individual's face, while the profiles of East Asians tend to less emphasize the face and include more background features. Americans also show greater smile intensity compared to East Asian Facebook users. (总的来说，他们发现美国人的头像照片更倾向于关注个人的面部，而东亚人的头像往往不太强调面部，包含更多的背景特征。与东亚脸书用户相比，美国人的微笑程度也更高。)”可知，Facebook用户在美国更有可能使用档案照片，关注他们的脸，而东亚人的照片往往比较强调的脸，包括更多的背景特征。与东亚脸书用户相比，美国人的微笑程度也更高。故答案为Facebook users in America are more likely to use profile photos that focus on their faces, while the photos of East Asians tend to less emphasize the face and include more background features. Americans also show greater smile intensity compared to East Asian Facebook users. 42．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“In one of the study samples, Americans studying in Japan and Japanese studying in the United States both showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country. (在其中一个研究样本中，在日本留学的美国人和在美国留学的日本人都倾向于根据所在国的总体喜好来调整自己的头像。)”可知，在日本留学的美国人倾向于根据所在国的总体喜好来调整个人资料照片，因为所在国的文化会影响他们在网上的自我表现。故答案为In one of the study samples, Americans studying in Japan showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country because they want to maintain a good relationship with their Japanese friends. Americans studying in Japan showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country because the culture of their host country has an influence on their self-presentation online. 43．开放题。考生言之有理则可。参考答案为：possible version 1: I use a picture of a coffee mug as my profile photo. I use it because it is my favorite coffee mug and I want everyone to admire it. Besides, I am careful about privacy and don’t want to display my face to strangers online. possible version 2: I use a picture of myself as my profile photo, and in the picture I am smiling confidently. I used it because I want people to feel that I am a confident person and I am trustworthy. 第二节: 书面表达（共一题，20分) 44．假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的好友Jim是北京一所国际学校的篮球队队长，你校计划组织一场校际篮球比赛，请你用英文给Jim写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.发出比赛邀请； 2.提议比赛安排。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I hope this email finds you well.

B I remember the day during our first week of class when we were informed about our semester（学期） project of volunteering at a non-profit organization．When the teacher introduced us to the different organizations that needed our help，my last choice was Operation Iraqi Children （OIC）．My first impression of the organization was that it was not going to make enough of a difference with the plans I had in mind． Then，an OIC representative gave us some details，which somewhat interested me．After doing some research， I believed that we could really do something for those kids．When I went online to the OIC website，I saw pictures of the Iraqi children．Their faces were so powerful in sending a message of their despair（绝望） and need that I joined this project without hesitation．We decided to collect as many school supplies as possible，and make them into kits——one kit，one child． The most rewarding day for our group was project day，when all the efforts we put into collecting the items finally came together．When I saw the various supplies we had collected，it hit me that every kit we were to build that day would eventually be in the hands of an Iraqi child．Over the past four months，I had never imagined how I would feel once our project was completed．While making the kits，I realized that I had lost sight of the true meaning behind it．I had only focused on the fact that it was another school project and one I wanted to get a good grade on．When the kits were completed，and ready to be sent overseas，the warm feeling I had was one I would never forget． In the beginning，I dared myself to make a difference in the life of another person．Now that our project is over，I realize that I have affected not only one life，but ten．With our efforts，ten young boys and girls will now be able to further their education． 24．How did the author feel about joining the OIC project in the beginning？ A．It would affect his/her initial plans． B．It would involve traveling overseas． C．It would not bring him/her a good grade． D．It would not live up to his/her expectations． 25．What mainly helped the author change his/her attitude toward the project？ A．Images of Iraqi children． B．Research by his/her classmates． C．A teacher's introduction． D．A representative's comments． 26．The author's OIC project group would help ten Iraqi children to________．. A．become OIC volunteers B．further their education C．study in foreign countries D．influence other children 27．What can we conclude from this passage？ A．One's potential cannot always be underrated． B．First impression cannot always be trusted． C．Actions speak louder than words． D．He who hesitates is lost． C Memories are funny, aren’t they? You can be going along, minding your business, and then, all of a sudden, a memory pops into your head. Sometimes memories are triggered (触发) by a song that reminds you of the setting where you first heard it. Or it may be a smell that makes you think of a delicious meal with your friends or family. Perhaps hearing kids arguing makes you remember an unhappy situation with childhood friends. These spontaneous (自发的) memories can be “sweet,” or they might be “sour.” Did you ever wonder what’s going on in your brain that makes your memories produce positive or negative emotions? Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biologica Studies in California have made a discovery that could help to uncover this secret. The explanation is a bit technical (for those of us who are not brain scientists), but basically it all focuses on a single molecule (分子) called neurotensin (神经降压素). Our surrounding environment is constantly presenting our brain with stimuli (刺激). The molecule neurotensin acts as a key indicator of whether an experience is labeled as positive or negative, depending on the nature of the stimuli. Our brain subsequently associates similar stimuli with the pleasant or painful memory that we experienced. The study by the Salk Institute was published in the journal Nature. The focus of their experiments was the brain circuitry of laboratory mice. After a sound was played, the mice received either a pleasant swallow of sugary water or, an unpleasant electrical shock or puff of air. The researchers discovered that neurotensin was the signal that associated the sound with reward or with punishment When the gene (基因) that regulates neurotensin was removed from the mice’s brains, they had more difficulty connecting the sound with the sugary water. However, the negative responses were enhanced. Understanding how neurons in the brain respond to neurotensin could have influences on one’s mental health. Addictions may be caused by overly high levels of neurotensin (connected with positive rewards). On the other hand, depression and anxiety can result when decreased levels of neurotensin allow negative responses to dominate. Thus, regulating neurotensin could help to maintain mental stability. One other thing: The research study showed that the brain may tend to be a pessimist, focusing on fearful memories that cause negative emotional responses. Perhaps insights into neurotensin will help us have fewer sour memories and more sweet ones. 28．What is the function of neurotensin? A．To provide our brain with stimuli. B．To indicate the category of an experience. C．To focus on the surrounding environment. D．To associate the stimuli with our memory. 29．What can we learn from the passage? A．Addictions and anxiety may be related to different levels of neurotensin. B．The mice were given both sugary water and an electrical shock after hearing a sound. C．As the gene which controls neurotensin disappeared, the negative responses decreased. D．The brain prefers connecting with fearful memories which produce unexpected emotions. 30．What is the passage mainly about? A．What happens in our brain to form our memory. B．What the discovery of memory can do for mental health. C．How brain connects our memory with different emotions. D．How we regulate neurotensin to make us have good emotions. D When climate activists glued themselves to the frame of a copy of The Last Supper at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, they received a fairly sympathetic hearing. “No painting is worth more than my six-month-old nephew’s life,” said a protestor, criticizing the British government’s support of the fossil fuel industry during the urgent climate crisis. But when protestors threw tomato soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and mashed potatoes at Haystacks by Monet — the censure rose. “Absolutely absurd,” said the culture minister of France. “We have been deeply shaken by their risky endangerment,” read a statement from the International Council of Museums. The protestors are targeting works that are protected behind glass — at least for now — so actual damage has been minimal. And perhaps the anger greeting their acts proves their point, that people care more about the threatened destruction of a painting than the actual destruction of the planet. But as the attacks wear on, and their impact decreases, they risk changing into a joke. What’s especially misguided about the protests is their binary nature. “What is worth more, art or life?” a protestor asked. Why choose? “It’s possible to blame both environmental vandalism (蓄意破坏) and cultural vandalism at the same time,” Mark Pasnik, chair of the Boston Art Commission said. Art is not the problem here. In fact, contemporary artists are making quite effective works about the climate crisis, precisely using art as activism. Maya Lin’s Ghost Forest, a climate change memorial she created in a New York City park, is only one example. “I believe that art can help us imagine and map sustainable future scenarios (设想) and, in doing so, give people a way to see and hope for a different future,” Lin said. The climate activists are surely correct that the pace of reform is far too slow, as the planet burns and deadly storms intensify. But they casually dismiss the sincere efforts of millions of people working on the issue. It would be easier to respect the young protesters at Just Stop Oil, Last Generation, and the rest of the splash groups if they were to spend their time and energy on the unexciting but essential political work around climate change: legislation, regulation, and winning hearts and minds. Perhaps predictably, the debates caused by the protests have not been about climate change, but about the protests themselves.

But you know that's easier said than done. There are many reasons why you have a hard time accepting compliments. 35 It's a three step process. First, believe what people tell you. If you're still having a hard time taking the compliment, double check. And if it's still hard to accept then you'll have to check yourself. 36 For example, if you're six feet tall and I say, “Wow, you're tall! ” I'm being honest. I'm five foot nine, so plenty of people are tall compared to me. I'm expressing that subjectively, from my shorter vantage point, you are tall. I'm not saying everyone would agree with me. Just like if I say City of God is a great movie, I'm not saying you have to think it's a great movie. You have to listen carefully to compliments. It's not always obvious if you're being complimented for something only others can observe. If you are five foot six inches tall, and weigh seventy pounds, I would say you are slim. But if you are comparing yourself to someone who is shorter, and weighs five pounds less than you, you might call yourself plump. In this extreme example, the outside perspective is more accurate than the internal one.   37 If you're still struggling to accept a compliment, you don't just have to take someone at their word. It can be hard to accept an opinion when it's the opposite of yours, so call in reinforcements. Ask someone else what they think. 38 You can ask two or three or four more people if two isn't enough. 39 If you mislead or lie to people about your opinions, then it's not surprising that you have a hard time trusting that people's compliments are genuine. Be more honest with people around you, and you'll find it much easier to believe what people say about you. A．They will be the tie breaker. B．You can check with someone else instead. C．The causes are complicated but the path to accepting compliments is simpler. D．How honest are you with your friends and family when they ask for your opinion? E．When someone is trying to pay you a compliment, they are speaking subjectively. F．When someone pays you a compliment, they are speaking about something that is observable. G．Similarly, when I call you smart or funny, I'm commenting based on my definition of smart or funny, that's how I see you. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，共32分） 第一节 阅读表达（共4小题，第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 For millions of Facebook users, choosing which photo to use for an online profile is an important decision. According to a study by researchers at the UT Dallas Center, the photos we select may reflect individual preferences, but they also appear to reflect more deeply rooted, unconscious cultural differences. Previous research has shown that culture can affect not only language and custom, but also how we experience the world and process information. Western cultures, for example, condition people to think of themselves as highly independent entities （实体）, whereas East Asian cultures stress collectivism and interdependence. Dr. Denise Park, co-director of the Center at UT Dallas, and former graduate student Dr. Chih-Mao Huang of the University of Illinois, were curious about whether these patterns of cultural influence extend to cyberspace. In a paper published in the International Journal of Psychology, they examined the profile photographs of more than 500 active Facebook users from the United States and East Asia. Overall, they found that profile photos of Americans are more likely to focus on the individual's face, while the profiles of East Asians tend to less emphasize the face and include more background features. Americans also show greater smile intensity compared to East Asian Facebook users. The findings show marked cultural differences in the focus of attention among East Asian and American Facebook users. Moreover, they echo previous research on cultural influences on visual perception（感知）, attention, and reasoning in the offline world. "We believe these findings relate to a cultural bias to be more individualistic and independent in the US and more communal and interdependent in Asia," said Park. The research also found that cultural influences over our self-presentation online can shift over time and from place to place. In one of the study samples, Americans studying in Japan and Japanese studying in the United States both showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country. "Facebook constitutes an extended social context in which personal profiles mirror various individual characteristics, private thoughts, and social behaviors," noted Huang. "As such, the study presents a new approach to investigate cognition and behaviors across cultures by using Facebook as a data collection platform." 40．What may an online profile photo reflect? 41．According to the research, how are American and East Asian Facebook users different in choosing their profile photos? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. In one of the study samples, Americans studying in Japan showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country because they want to maintain a good relationship with their Japanese friends. 43．Describe the profile photo you use for your social media such as WeChat or Weibo. Why do you choose it? 第二节: 书面表达（共一题，20分) 44．假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的好友Jim是北京一所国际学校的篮球队队长，你校计划组织一场校际篮球比赛，请你用英文给Jim写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.发出比赛邀请； 2.提议比赛安排。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
